First of all, I want to thank everyone who contributes their shared experiences. I have learned so much in my short time here. I hope to give back to my fellow HBT'ers one day soon!
That being said, this is a topic near and dear to my heart. A good friend of mine(former beer lover) had a near fatal cardiac arrest and cannot drink alcohol(Cardiologists orders) I'd like to brew up a 5 gallon batch of "non alcoholic" homebrew.
I'm aware that all "NA" brew have a mimimal amount of alcohol(less than 0.5%) He is allowed NA brews, but he hates the BMC crap... I know there's other commercial options, but he loves IPA's/APA's,and I'd like to order a all grain kit from AHS ASAP! This kit sounds great- AHS Session Series Northwest Special [05105] (http://www.austinhomebrew.com)
So my question is this, what do i need to do differently to ensure that we make a great tasting homebrew minus the alcohol. This kit is already low(3.9%) What do I do differently through out the fermentation process?(amount of yeast to pitch, length of primary/secondary?)
Thanks in advance for all your help! I appreciate it more than I can express.
